Bitter bamboo shoots

That bitter taste, once eaten, is remembered forever. That bitter taste, starts at the tip of the tongue then turns into a sweet taste spreading throughout the mouth. That bitter taste is the characteristic flavor of bitter bamboo shoots, a product of the Northwest mountains and forests.

According to the elders in the village, “In the old days, when life was difficult, villagers had to go into the forest to hunt and gather. At that time, bitter bamboo shoots were only considered a food to relieve hunger. But now, life here and there is enough, bitter bamboo shoots are honored as a branded cuisine .” Therefore, every season of bitter bamboo shoots, from the elderly to children, sell bamboo shoots in all markets, even along the roads.
